Chapter 682 Lies Exposed


    Brandon lowered his head and mulled over what Charts said.


    He had always known that Charts liked him, but he didn''t expect her to risk her life for him. He was


    at a loss. He knew better than anyone else that he couldn''t give her what she wanted.


    Looking at the two people who had fallen quiet, J smiled slightly. "Miss Turner, howe


    you''ve suddenly be so reckless? That''s not like you. After all,pared to Brandon, you''re not


    as strong. What''s the use in rushing into a burning building to save him? I thought you were smarter


    than that. Unless there''s another, unspeakable reason as to why you did it?"


    J''s voice was soft and gentle, but her eyes were sharper than a knife, leaving Charts no ce


    to hide.


    Charts was always proud of her intelligence. What she couldn''t stand was when others called her


    stupid. Not to mention how much she already hated J. At this moment, her boiling anger had


    reached its peak.


    But Brandon was there. No matter how much resentment Charts had in her heart, she had to bury it


    for the time being.


    She gritted her teeth so tightly that she felt a dull pain on her burned face.


    After taking a few deep breaths, Charts asked stiffly, "What sort of unspeakable reason can I have?


    I''ve known Brandon since we were young.


    We''ve been friends for years. Of course I''d rush in and save him. Besides, I''m very familiar with the


    layout of that haunted house. I was sure I could help Brandon in such a critical moment."


    J''s brow shot up and her eyes gleamed mischievously. "Oh? Why would you be so familiar with


    theyout of a haunted house in an amusement park? Miss Turner, given your status and


    personality, I doubt you''d go to a ce like that for pleasure, am I right?"


    Charis was stunned speechless.


    She stole a nce at Brandon and found that he was also staring at her intently.


    It was indeed a bit suspicious. After pausing for a moment, Charis came up with an excuse. "Didn''t I


    tell you before that I nned to throw a Halloween party for my employees? Of course


    Ilearnedaboutthehauntedhousebeforehand."


    The more she spoke, the unconvinced she sounded. But she refused to cave.


    J smiled and didn''t make any morements. The answer was obvious. Anyone with a


    discerning eye could tell that Charis was lying about something.


    So J picked up her bag and said, "You guys take your time. I''m going to the bathroom."


    She decided to let Brandon draw his own conclusions.


    Staring at Brandon, Charis felt her muscles tensed up, which triggered a wave of pain from her


    wounds. Wincing, she started to say, "Brandon, I..."


    However, she stopped on second thought.


    She knew her exnation was a bit far-fetched, but she couldn''te up with a better excuse.


    Besides, a far-fetched exnation was better than saying nothing.

    Brandon looked into her eyes searchingly. Finally, he said with intimidating authority, "You''ve been


    acting very strangetely."


    Hearing the implication of his words, Charis gritted her teeth and fell into silence again.


    Brandon continued, "Tell me. What happened? Why did you lie?"


    The unexpected question sent Charis into a panic. She held her breath for a few seconds.


    Pretending to be calm, she asked, "What are you talking about, Brandon? I never lied to you."


    "You told me that J was obsessed with me and I had no feelings for her. Isn''t that a lie? It turns


    out I used to have a good rtionship with J."
